First time I went to Hershey I got a sunburn, the next year was like walking in a carwash.

I'm bringing an old laptop but it doesn't support that high of a resolution to support PET. However, if we need it we can use the online parts catalog for the older cars on the Porsche.com site.

Ya I know what you mean.... if we really need it in a pinch hopefully there are usually hotels around with wifi. I've got Microsoft Mappoint loaded on it as well... but then again Jim will be using his Garmin. We can play DVD on the trip... grasping at straws now eh. Maybe I'll just leave it at home!

Wow, I knew you loved your car Clive, but getting that turned on that you need wet wipes from handling Porsche parts...Priceless. I can't wait!

Thanks Jim for letting us use your van, it made all the difference in the world. I don't think that I can over state how great a trip this was for me personally,... it ranks up there with my first visit to Rennsport Reunion.

You want to go the Hershey next year... Ya Doooo!

I thought it sucked canal water. Overpriced parts, lousy attitudes., same old same old. Ugly fat broads in halter tops and finally ' are we there yet" and" i gotta pee".
Oh lest I forget. Lewiston butch border guards.
